I dont know why all these 1-4, 1-6 power scopes are even made, yes I love them but who in hell uses the 2x and 3x power? Why dont all these scope makers make these like the Elcan with a throw lever that goes from 1x right to 4x?
I've been looking at this scope for awhile and I think I'm going to pick it up before the 2012 three gun season starts. Thanks for a fantastic and incredibly thorough review!
@pumbaajk The mil hash marks are freaking small, but usable but not for super precise range estimation really quick. You would have to take a moment to get the exact mil reading. If you just remember the big rings mil reading and how a target fits in or around it you can get a quick rough estimation. I put a butler creek 02A scope cap to run it occluded on bright days. The center .2mil dot is really small, but its actually kinda big at a 100 yards when trying to tight groups. A+ overall
on the website, the reticle looks like it takes up the whole scope and was able to easily make out the mils on it. But when i looked at the brochure i got from the gun shop, all i could see was a small dot. can you help me out with this?

Good video. I bought one but think the reticle is smaller than I expected at 4x. Makes it a bit of a challenge to range with the mil hash marks.
